Great food, great views and exciting live music sounds like the perfect Friday evening to us!
Performing Friday night at Flip Flopz in North Wildwood from 6 to 10 p.m. is Coast to Coast!

They get people up, dancing, jumping and singing along! They play any type of music, and are second to none when it comes to reduplicating the sounds of the ‘60s, ‘70s, ‘80s, ‘90s and now.

Catch local favorite The Bastard Sons of Captain Mey at Harry’s Ocean Bar & Grille in Cape May this Saturday from 4 to 8 p.m.!

Since then, the band continues to perform both original and cover music in various indoor and outdoor settings.
The Philadelphia-based band Bogside Rogues brings a striking live sound to Anglesea Pub in North Wildwood on Saturday at 9 p.m. Bob Hurst, Tim Murphy, Fran O’Connor and Bob Finegan have brought their Celtic music backgrounds together to create an upbeat sound while maintaining their traditional Irish roots.

He can please any crowd on the turntables, which is why he has become a tastemaker in the Philadelphia nightlife scene.
